London, Paris, New York, Tokyo. No matter in which one of these fascinating metropoles you are currently staying, as for work or just because „la vie est belle “, all of them have one thing in common, the energy of a real big city. No wonder everything here seems faster, brighter and more alive.
Paris, so much history, so much beauty, so much „joie de vivre “. Shortly after your arrival, this city casts a spell on you, which is as difficult to resist as the pretty macarons at Ladurée. Countless possibilities for every taste and mood are here to be found.
From dust till dawn and sometimes even long after the sun is down and the big city lights is switched on, the air still pulses in the city. With people from every corner of the world living in one place it ensures an incredible variety in developing your daily lifestyle. Although every one of these cities has its magics and attractions, one is probably the loveliest and most romantic of them all.
As Paris is a city to walk, you definitely need a rest before getting ready for going out and dinner at one of the many restaurants which every Arrondissement has to offer. Young and trendy in Montmartre with a touch of nostalgia, „Fines de Claire“ and lobster at „La Coupole“ or typical French cuisine in Marais, vine with excellent cocktails included.
After starting the day like a real Parisian which includes coffee with a pain en chocolate at one of the many traditional Cafés, you walk along the exquisite windows at Rue Saint Honoré, before visiting the Louvre for a short tête-à-tête with la Mona Lisa. The afternoon is for „Café the Flore“ in Saint-Germain-de-Prés, over a hundred years old and still the place to be, where Pablo Picasso and Jean-Paul Sartre had lunch while thinking about their next big thing or just looking at the many fascinating people passing by on Boulevard Saint-Germain.
And that is just one way to spend a day in Paris. It never gets boring, that´s for sure.
Maybe this short voyage in the city of love stimulated your appetite for more and your next weekend trip leads you to Paris and its shimmering life. The question is:
Pourquoi pas?
